Our Track Record: Making Bold Strides for Sustainability
More than 550+ Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises across more than 30 industries and verticals worldwide count on GEP to solve their most pressing business challenges and achieve ambitious goals. Fresh thinking, innovative products, unrivaled domain and subject expertise, and smart, passionate people — this is how GEP creates and delivers unified business solutions of unprecedented scale, power and effectiveness.
As an associate partner of the World Economic Forum (WEF), GEP is using our broad expertise in AI, digital transformation and supply chain optimization to drive a global discussion on AI’s potential impacts on sustainability, diversity, and social and economic equity.
In response to a wave of challenges that have catalyzed the need for new thinking around supply chain strategy and operations, GEP will convene the inaugural CEO Roundtable on the New Supply Chain in February 2023. It’s an opportunity for the world’s foremost business leaders to gather, debate and decide on pathways forward.
GEP is a participant member of the UN Global Compact and is committed to taking action on its sustainable development goals (SDGs) to ensure a more sustainable and equitable world.
We joined The Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP), a pro-bono community committed to embedding sustainability into their procurement practices and sharing their knowledge and tools.
Leading From the Front: Worldwide Advocacy
GEP’s leaders, employees and partners understand the tremendous responsibility that we all share to make the world better for future generations. That’s why we’ve pledged to reduce our carbon emissions by 60% before 2025 by:
- Limiting our corporate travel to minimize our overall carbon footprint by promoting carpooling, choosing long-distance train rides instead of flight, using ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft
- Adopting a reduce, reuse and recycle philosophy for all waste
- Transitioning to energy-efficient LED lights in the U.S., U.K., Czech Republic, India and China, and installing daylight-harvesting technologies in our facilities in India and China
- Engaging our employees in hyperlocal, high-impact advocacy efforts in their respective regions
